A Pandora app for the iPhone has been around for a while and it’s about time for the Slacker app as it makes its debut today. Even better–it’s free because it’s just an extension of the site.

Features of the app include basically everything that one sees when they visit Slacker Radio’s website. For those of you that haven’t used Slacker, that means that you can create your own custom stations based around the artists you like in addition to using the pre-programmed stations, fine tune them to play the music you like, view bio/photos and tell the stations to not play the music you don’t like.

We haven’t hit up on any ads in the application during our testing yet, but one would assume they’re in there, since you have to login with your account to get started. I can only assume that the experience will mimic the website.

Chris’s Opinion
I used to be a huge fan of Slacker but have since moved onto Pandora as their gadget for Windows Vista allows me to constantly stream their music without having to use extra room in my browser. Another reason why I moved on from Slacker was because the interface wasn’t as simple as Pandora’s is. As it currently stands, the entire website seems to basically be crammed into an app for your iPhone.

{ad}I’m optimistic about Slacker though. Slacker Radio helped me out when I didn’t have an iPod or MP3 player of any sort. Well just have to wait and see how the Slacker app does.
